A Blacksmith's tools are of assorted things. Some are a forge, a anvil, a hammer, tongs, a vise, same files and a sledg. They dont use all of them of corse! They have faveorite tools. Some of the things they make were tools for farmers or iron rims for wheels. Inside the Forge there was a raiesd brick hearth and some tables. Can you beleve it they didn't have lights! The only light they had was the light from the windows and the fires. To me it seems that it would be very noisey. A Black Smith would be a heard but rewarding job.
